Aggregators will take a significant position in the single energy market of Ukraine and Europe, assisting consumers in effective operations in this market, believes the Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo Vitaliy Zaichenko.
“Aggregators will be one of the key participants in the future market. In Europe, this has already developed quite well, and one of the aspects of the flexibility of the energy system is flexibility on the part of consumers. It is the aggregators that will provide them with the opportunity to receive income from their consumption,” Zaichenko noted during a broadcast with Olga Babiy on the YouTube channel of the Kyiv School of Public Administration Media.
He emphasized that energy is not just a commodity, but a consumption schedule, when at different times it has different costs, and aggregators will help consumers work as productively as possible.
Zaychenko also expressed the opinion that electricity traders are best prepared to operate in the single market, as they are already actively operating in Europe.
“Traders are quite well prepared for European integration, but they do not yet cover all segments; they will also need more training, software changes and team development,” added the Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo.
As reported earlier, in an interview with the Internet portal “Energy Reform”, D.TRADING Commercial Director Dmitry Maliar called aggregators key to increasing the efficiency of distributed generation. According to him, an aggregator is a company representing the interests of various entities of distributed generation that do not want or cannot act independently in the electricity market. He noted that an aggregator allows a professional trader to represent such producers in different market segments, establish their trading strategy and be responsible for managing market positions to optimize the financial results of this business.
